1.20 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Tanzanite Pair from Tanzania

From the moment these violetish blue crystals first emerged from the earth in Tanzania, their story was one of quiet rarity and careful selection. Miners who work the Tanzanian deposits have long learned to recognize the subtle shift from rough corundum to tanzanite, and these two pieces caught the eye for their near identical personality. At The Natural Gemstone Company we source stones that speak to each other, and this pair was sorted together because they shared a harmony in tone and transparency. They are cushion shape tanzanites, weighing 0.59 carats and 0.61 carats respectively, with dimensions of 5.02 by 4.95 by 3.30 mm, and 4.95 by 4.88 by 3.35 mm. Both were cut as mixed brilliant cuts to balance scintillation with depth, and each was evaluated as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which allows a clean visual face up while preserving carat weight. Their medium intense color intensity reveals a violetish blue that plays between dusk and sapphire when turned under light, a color made more stable by professional heat treated enhancement.

The journey continued in the lapidary studios where cutters refined these stones with an excellent polish, shaping facets to maximize the mixed brilliant cut fire while retaining the plush cushion outline. Because the two stones were sourced and selected as a pair, their minute differences in weight and dimension create a matched set that feels naturally paired rather than mechanically paired, making them particularly special for earrings or paired pendants where a subtle individuality is desirable. These tanzanites arrive ready to be set, offering reliable clarity, balanced color, and a symmetry born of expert cutting. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the provenance and the craftsmanship, and we welcome you to imagine these Tanzanian tanzanites transforming a design into a story that began underground and finished as a refined, wearable jewel. If you are seeking a pair that carries a shared origin and a distinct character, these stones offer both provenance and personality, and we are pleased to assist with setting recommendations and custom design guidance.
